Based on the novel by Galt Niederhoffer (also the writer and director), “The Romantics” stars Holmes and Anna Paquin as friends who have long vied for the affections of cutie-pie Tom (Josh Duhamel). He’s picked one as his bride, but after a few pre-wedding drinks things aren’t so clear.

The movie seems to mark Holmes’ return to the big screen after marrying Tom Cruise in 2006. She was last seen in a supporting role in the heist-comedy “Mad Money” in 2008.

Holmes has at least two more films scheduled for release this year, the comedy-drama “The Extra Man” (with Kevin Kline as a male escort) and “Don’t be Afraid of the Dark,” a remake of a 1978 made-for-television chiller about a housewife terrorized by fiendish creatures.
